Jackie Condon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jackie Condon (John Condon) (March 25, 1918 - October 13, 1977) was an American child actor who was a regular on the Our Gang short series during the Pathé silent era. Jackie was known for his impish behavior and his wild unruly hair which looked like it had been combed with an eggbeater. Although he was popular, he was never really a standout player. Despite that Condon was the only regular to appear in every one of the sixty-six Pathe comedies produced. He left the series in 1929 at the age of ten and disappeared from show business for awhile. He tried a comeback in the early 1950's without much success.

Condon died of cancer on October 13, 1977, at the age of 59. He was residing in Inglewood, California at the time of his passing.
